135 Allocation of production or acquisition expenditure to relevant periods

(1) This section applies for the purpose of calculating the profits of a trade of a relevant period if— (a) the trade consists of or includes the exploitation of the original master versions of . . . sound recordings, (b) the original master versions do not constitute trading stock of the trade (within the meaning of section 174), (c) the person carrying on the trade incurs production or acquisition expenditure in, or before, the relevant period, and (d) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (2) A deduction is allowed for the amount of the production or acquisition expenditure allocated to the relevant period, but this is subject to the application of any prohibitive rule. (3) The person carrying on the trade must allocate to the relevant period so much of the expenditure as is just and reasonable (but see subsection (5)). (4) In making this allocation regard must be had to the following— (a) the amount of the expenditure which remains unallocated at the beginning of the period, (b) the amount of the expenditure incurred in the period, (c) the proportion which the estimated value of the original master version realised in the period (by way of income or otherwise) bears to the sum of the value so realised and the estimated remaining value at the end of the period, and (d) the need to bring the whole of the expenditure into account over the time during which the value of the original master version is expected to be realised. (5) The person carrying on the trade may also allocate to the relevant period a further amount, so long as the total amount allocated to the period does not exceed the value of the original master version realised in the period (by way of income or otherwise). (6) Expenditure may not be allocated to the relevant period under this section if it is allocated— (a) under this section to any other relevant period, (b) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
